MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Even though you convinced me that it won't be anything close to human i still think it would be an interesting experiment to simulate a living brain.

Dammit. i hate being wrong.
There is something about PD that rubs my face into the shittyness of my ideas.

Oh, I think that would be bloody awesome/excellent. Probably not the best bet for a personal computer, but if you could simulate a great number of human-like neural networks working on a problem, it could possibly come up with some novel solutions.
